In fact, both pinheiro and I as far as I know, agree that the whole 
oxygen configuration stuff is quite bad.
Here are screenshots of each tab:

(pictures are called "tab1" to "tab6")

Any mockup highly appreciated (I know the current state is not satisfactory)

On a side note, the previous incarnation of this config dialog was a 
single panel with many group boxes and already raised quite some 
discussions on the usability side. Remember some proposal to have all 
boxes ordered vertically.
